MISSISSIPPI BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER

Congratulations to Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, CHEER’s CHAMPion of the Week! After five years of dedication and quality improvement work, the hospital was re-designated as Baby-Friendly.

Founded in 1908 as Jackson’s first hospital, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center has long been dedicated to providing quality and compassionate care to its patients. The hospital has been working with CHAMPS since 2018, determined to improve breastfeeding education, resources, and support.

Despite staff turnover, re-designation was a team effort among hospital leadership, staff, and providers. Baby-Friendly lead at the hospital shares: “My one tip for others pursuing designation and re-designation would be having leadership supportive of the journey!”

Well done, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center. We look forward to continuing to work with your caring and passionate team.
